People using gay panic as a legal defense doesn’t mean that words ending in “phobia” are contributing to the murders, or that the continued use of such words leads to zero consequences. It just means that is is being used as a legal defense.
Phobia is a mental illness. Using it lightly isn’t appropriate.
Here is the fun thing about language. It changes over time. And words can have several meanings. Horrifying, I know.
Yes it does. Phobia is a fear. That is what is causing the panic. That is the legal defense. SMH.
If you don’t want to be educated on a topic that’s fine but don’t pretend it’s not an issue which it’s cited to you.
And those meanings can be false. I get liberals love newspeak but the term bigoted is appropriate.
Now I’ll end this conversation as I’ve said what I’ve needed to say
People don’t kill queer people over panic. They kill them because they’re bigots. And they’ll do so regardless of some bullshit legal defense.
don’t pretend it’s not an issue which it’s cited to you.
I’m not saying “it’s not an issue”. I’m saying that your source doesn’t support your conclusion. C does not flow from A and B. Your argument is flawed.

You’re gonna leave an insult and run? What a cowardly thing to do.

Phobia has multiple meanings, as does most words.
People don’t kill queer people over panic. They kill them because they’re bigots. And they’ll do so regardless of some bullshit legal defense.
